What's nice is that he did narrations for WWII films back in the day.  I got that speech from Pres. Reagan's last speech in office.  His farewell speech.  I thought it was remarkable that he would mention the pilgrims and Jimmy Doolittle in the same sentence.  Thought it had great meaning and would be a great touch to the film. 

Jimmy's voice can also be heard in the film as well.  In the beginning when the guy was describing the what-if senarios and what they would be willing to do in case of early detection before reaching Tokyo, that was Jimmy's voice taken from a 1980's documentary about the Doolittle Raid from Jimmy's 1st hand account during an interview.

The whistle sound heard before Jimmy's voice was a nice subtle touch.  It was a way to indicated an announcement was going to be made over the PA system while on the ship.

Thanks for watching the film we put together, rather quickly. 
Time's fun when you're having flies.
